It's not just a technical book or just a business guide. Data is ubiquitous and it doesn't pay much attention to borders, so we've calibrated our coverage to follow it wherever it goes.In the first edition of Big Data Now, the O'Reilly team tracked the birth and early development of data tools and data science. Now, with this second edition, we're seeing what happens when big data grows up: how it's being applied, where it's playing a role, and the consequences -- good and bad alike -- of data's ascendance.We've organized the second edition of Big Data Now into five areas:Getting Up to Speed With Big Data -- Essential information on the structures and definitions of big data.Big Data Tools, Techniques, and Strategies -- Expert guidance for turning big data theories into big data products.The Application of Big Data -- Examples of big data in action, including a look at the downside of data.What to Watch for in Big Data -- Thoughts on how big data will evolve and the role it will play across industries and domains.Big Data and Health Care -- A special section exploring the possibilities that arise when data and health care come together.Database Development Lifecyclehttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=514326

Fundamentos de Base de DatosGo Faster! - The TransRelational™ Approach to DBMS Implementationhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=837446
This is a free textbook offered by BookBoon.'In the database world, the relational model of database management was a massive leap forward, hailed as a breakthrough idea. Critics, however, pegged it as difficult, if not impossible, to implement in an efficient manner. Database administrators worked over the years to improve performance and have met with some success. Unfortunately, database management products have since become increasingly complex and unwieldy. But now there is another option.Author C.J. Date, an expert in relational database technology, says the next “quantum leap” is the TransRelational Approach. This is a new and dramatically different way to implement the relational model for databases. The TransRelational Approach is faster than today’s SQL database products, with greater data independence. In addition, database administrators will find their jobs to be far simpler after implementing the TransRelational Approach.'k-12math.infohttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=500649
